Re: When,Where,And What Was The First LC Song You Heard?
I was watching 'Mills and Tunes', an old programme on VH1 with comedian Bob Mills in the mid 90s. He actually made a 5 minute impassioned speech about how us youngsters should throw away our Blur and Oasis CDs and get I'm You Man and actually learn a thing or two - I'm paraphrasing here a bit but I ...

Re: Tour Continuing Until December 2013??
By my calculations he'll be 80 in September next year, so in my somewhat hopeful mind that just means he'll have to start another tour to keep his wish to be on stage again in his 80s. I hope he's still in rude health and it isn't getting more draining for him being on tour and performing such long ...

Re: UNCUT : 'Old Ideas' is Album of The Year
Number 4 in Mojos list too :) I remember years ago seeing Ten New Songs somewhere to the back of the Uncut Top 50 for that year, can't remember how Dear Heather did other than it wasn't near the very top. It's funny how public perception changes over time and can influence these kind of things. I kn...

How to get from Tonbridge to Wembley
For anyone with non refundable hotel bookings in Tonbridge, it may well still be possible to see the concert at Wembley and travel back afterwards. I live in Kent and regularly have to find my way back from events in different parts of London, it's not ideal of course but is doable. If you do have a...

Re: Night or Day

Re: HOP FARM (UK), 8 SEPT ON GENERAL SALE
I know this has been asked before but does anyone have any idea when the set is likely to start? 3PM seems a bit early (at least from my point of view as I'm likely to be working nearby that day until 6 ;)) Maybe someone has been to another Day At The Hopfarm thing and might have some idea? Personal...

Re: Dominique Isserman shooting new video clips for Leonard
Am I being perhaps a tad optimistic in hoping that these clips may be for another new album? I know he's never bee profilic in terms of songwriting but I think I remember reading in the mojo interview that Leonard hinted that he wanted to finish the next record before touring again. Seems a bit late...

Re: A Banjo interpretation
Interesting discussion. I guess we all have different interpretations of these things but for what it's worth here is mine... I think the Banjo = the body. "There's something that I'm watching, means a lot to me" - the 'me' here being Consciousness watching the body going about it's busine...

A Thousand Kisses Deep (recitation)
Does anyone have any idea if this is likely to be recorded for a future album? I know we have the live version but I was really hoping it would turn up on Old Ideas. For me it's as beautiful as anything he's ever composed
